Was your first an emergency c-section? I have heard from many friends and my doctor that having a scheduled c section. is a much easier recovery!

I am shooting for a vbac (that is completely supported by my doctor) if I don’t have to be induced for medical reasons again... however I am worried I try and go through the horrible process I went through the first time and still have to have a c section ... this makes me second guess if I should just do a scheduled c section 😞... we will see!!

This will be my third. First was after over a day of labor ending in an emergency-c. Second was scheduled, but I ended up sending myself into labor earlier so that my doctor could deliver. I knew what to expect, I wasn't exhausted from laboring, and it was a total breeze in comparison.
